“We want public transport to improve, to be of quality and to really be public. We are living a stage in which public transport is increasingly precarious and it directly affects all citizens,” he said.
In this regard, he mentioned that this problem is transversal and affects everyone, both workers and students, public officials and other people that necessarily must be mobilized by bus for their activities.
The demands and claims to be expressed in this protest include an audit of electronic ticketing, the resignation of the Vice Minister of Transport, Víctor Sánchez, and transparency in subsidies to transport companies.
